Using comment permalink() method in latest comment module

Hi,

On the easyboard dashboard comment view you get to see the permanent url of the comment with the following :



<?php if ($comment->isPublished()) { ?>

						<li>

							<a href="<?php echo $comment->getPermalink();?>" target="_blank"><?php echo JText::_('COM_EASYBLOG_DASHBOARD_VIEW_COMMENT');?></a>

						</li>

						<?php } ?>

However if you just copy and paste this line in the latest comment module both
the "isPublished()" or "getPermalink()" method are not usable(Call to undefined method error)

How can I use those methods in tmpl/default.php (I did not find any particular include in the default.php of the dashboard comment view)?

Thank you for your time.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the help and the detailed explanations Yasser, it works !

Actually I placed the following in the helper.php



$item = EB::table('Comment');

and in rest the default.php



<?php $item->bind($comment) ?>

					

					 <a href="<?php echo $item->getPermalink() ;?>">Comment direct </a>

Hi there,

Methods `getPermalink()` & `isPublished()` for comment relies on the `EasyBlogTableComment`, but however, in Latest Comment Module the comment object there didn't have `EasyBlogTableComment` object. Therefore, you cannot call these methods.

So, in order for you to use these methods, you'll need to load `EasyBlogTableComment` and bind these comments. You can use something like this:



	$item = EB::table('Comment');

	$item->bind($comment); 



	$item->getPermalink();

Checkout attached screenshot. By the way, please do remember this is a core file (/modules/mod_easybloglatestcomment/tmpl/default.php) which it will get overwritten when updating EasyBlog in the future. Hence, please utilize template module override for this customization so it would be safer. Checkout this documentation: https://docs.joomla.org/How_to_override_the_output_from_the_Joomla!_core

Hope this helps and good luck.
Thanks.
